SORGHUM AND THE Farmer

The announcement that the sugar
mills of Kansas, when established, will
pay the farmer but two dollars per ton
for the cane has already caused appre-
hensiOn on the part of this class and
not without reason. One of these farm
ers has written as follows to the Rural
New Yorker
Two dollars per ton for the cane de-
divered at the MILL Now, if the grow
CT lives five miles from the mill he can
figure at once what are his profits. As
general rule. it would be worth that
much to cut, strip and haul it, leaving
nothing for the use of land OF the labor
of raising II. | may remark here that
thirty years ago L, with a number of
my nelghbOTS, organized sugar COM
pauy in the then territory of Kansas,
and we investigated this sugar business
quite thoroughly, and were obliged to
come TO the conclusion that 1T would
not pay the farmer. and that conclusion
was not based on the difficulty of max
ing sugar. but the fact that we could
not raise and handle the raw material
cheaply enough to continue the enter
prise. True, we did not have the mod
ern improved machinery. but we well
knew that that could be introduced if
other things warranted the demand for
it. We demonstrated the fact that
sugar could be made from sorghum Just
as cheaply as it has been done lately at
such cost of public money. and even
had a glimpse of the diffusion process.
for in our experimenting, we cut up
and boiled some whole cane and made
from 1t nice sample of dry sugar. l
can see in the proposed company only
an alluring bait for farmers to catch at
and find themselves in the end swind-
led out of all the stock they eau be in
duced to take, and their condition iii no
way improved as To the cash returns
from their FARMS"
This caused the editor of the Rural
New Yorker to say; UNLESS the farm
er can get more than 81 per ton for his
cane, we believe the profit, if there is
any, will go into the pockets of the mill
men. 1t would, indeed, be a glorious
thing for Kansas to be able to cut in
two the enormous bill we now pay to
foreign countries for sugar, but the
farmers of Kansas-thOse who grow the
cane-must get their share Of the bene-
fit. Kansas cannot afford to produce
sugar if its production will ever neces-
state the cheap labor which alone
makes cotton growing or even sugar
making at the south at all profitable
If farmer is nedr enough to mill to
enable him to haul several loads with
one team every day, he may make a
profit. Ii he is too far away to enable
him to make these trips, he will not
make a profit and is foolish to go into

Dangerous Reformers.

From the Philadelphia Record: The
humane worker preserves his sense of
proportion. lie recognizes his own COM
parative littleness and the greatness of
the world; and, with some humility, he
often smiles sadly to himself at the bar
rem crop reaped after patient sowing.
Contrast such man with the rampant
'reformer." This reformer may be a
full fledged anarchist, or a half-hedged
Sabbatarian, or what not-In any case
he is sure to be half-hedged He begins by
losing his sense of proportion. He rec
ognizes his own purity and the worlds
wickedness. He wants to reform man.
kind, and because he can make no i'm
preston he wants to destroy everything.
He Is naturally narrow-minded, and
soon becomes bitterly mtolerant. Mar
and n-mindedness
are close akin, and his meanness of in
tellect makes him public nuisance.
His own mental obliquity cannot be
remedied, yet he fanatically raves that
all save his few associates are blind.
No ihtolerant propaganda should be
listened to in country such as this, be-
cause all of his notions are foreign to
the spiritOf democracy. lie sets up as Il
tyrant in ideas, and would force every
body under the broad sky to do as he
thinks they ought to do; or what is just
as bad, he joins a little junta of malcon-
tents and conspires to dictate rules of
right living to the rest of his country

KANSAS MORTGAGES.

Referring 10 farm mortgages in Kan
sas. the Atchison Champion says: The
records show that while Kansas owes
on farm mortgages about S235, 600. 900.
Illinois owes 81 600 600, 600: Indiana.
$685. 600. 600; Iowa. 1851, OO0, 600; Michi-
gan, 500. 10000; Wisconsin. 1867 ,OOO, :
900, and Ohio. Sl,l27 ,OOO,OOO. So that,
after all, Kansas is not so heavily in
debt as some of its envious rivals are
endeayoring to make it appear. 1t is
true that Kansas is much the Youngest
state named. but it is also true our farm
lands are for that very reaso' 5best able
to carry their debt, and that the proper
ton of our indel tedness to the states
enumerated is much smaller and far less
burdensome.
'Our lands have been mortgaged at
about one third their minimum value,
while those of the states referred to
have been mortgaged at over One-half
of their maxium value. Our farm lands,
mOrtgaged at very low valuation, at a
time when the prices of lands were
twenty per cent lower than at present,
and upon the basis of partially devel-
oped capabilities, without taking into
account, to any great extent, their fut-
ure almost unlimited productive capa-
bilIties, our constantly and rapidly in
creasing home and foreign markets, the
phenomenal increase of onr population,
our annually extended facilities for
transportation, and the inevitable GER
tainty that for twenty-five years to come
their debt paying power will increase
year by year, in proportion to their IN
creased and more thorough cultivation,
supplemented by manufacturing indus
tries. like the sorghum and beet sugar,
the salt and silk, the canning and flour
ing, the cotton and iron mills-each
and all of which are sure to develop
into profitable magnitude are a much
safer and more profitable investment
for capitalists than are similar invest
ments in the states east of u.s.

Mingona Matters.

Our sick are all recovering That
blizzard was tough and came upon us in
a very abrupt and unceremonious way.
but it will effectuaIly freeze out the
malaria that has been lurking around
town all the fall and has occasioned us
great deal of sickness and some
deaths. Our railroad men, Corbett &
Kelly, with their entire outfit. took
their departure the next morning after
thanksgiving day. Rumor SAYS they
are destined for the sunny fields of
Tennessee. We were sorry to see them
go. Messrs. Corbett & Kelly proved to
be honorable and upright in their deal
ings, and added much to the business
life and vigor of our town and we al
most feel lonesome since theyleft. AT
the church quarterly conference meet
ing of the brethren last week, it was
decided to obtain a deed for and fence
the cemetery grounds forthwith. Sub
scription papers were at once started
and the necessary amount almost
raised. The cemetery is for the free
use of the public, although the church
obtained THE ground and will attend
tofencingand laying it off in lots. The
church edifice Will not be built before
spring. Rev. Jno. Neher and family
with his sOn-in-law, John Martin, will
move to Wichita in a few weeks. They
expect to do some gardening and poul-
try raising in the near future for that
thriving little town. What will Mingonia
do for ministerial help? Rev. Smith Is
sick, Rev. Shamberger has left and
now it seems we must loose Bro. Neher.
THE Sunday school still lives, and
so far, we have been we'll supplied with
preaching every Sunday. . Our district
school is in the hands of DR.. McGoogan
for another term and we expect a much
larger attendance during the next term.
